Hugh Kemp on baseball cards

Hugh Kemp pitched eight seasons of professional baseball, mostly in the Reds organization, 74-62 with a 3.67 ERA. Now a consultant at Pactera and a baseball coach at Charlotte Christian, he kindly answered my questions about baseball cards.

- Do you have any stories about cards of yourself or of other players?

I
have a card from Venezuela that is not me. It has me or my name as a
left handed pitcher and I’m right handed. I also laugh that you can
find some cards of me on EBay for several dollars. I wasn’t anybody.
- Do you have a favorite card of yourself or of another player?

I like my AAA All-Star baseball card from the 1st annual AAA All-Star game, that was played in Buffalo.
- Do you collect baseball cards?

I
don’t, but my son does. He has several boxes full of them. He also
gets some every Christmas in his stocking, since he was born. He is now
16.

Thanks! I don't have either of those cards, but here is one I do have from 1989 ProCards.
